SS-Leibstandarte

En savoir plus sur le livre

"SS-Leibstandarte also provides a full combat record of the division, which fought on both fronts during World War II. The book outlines the unit's involvement in the fall of France, and its service on the Eastern Front, from the invasion of Russia, the battle of Kharkov, and the relief of the Cherkassy pocket. There follow the desperate attempts to throw the Allies out of Normandy after D-Day, the atrocities committed during the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes, and the final, fruitless attempts to relieve Budapest and save Vienna from the Red Army. Illustrated with rare photographs, and with an authoritative text, SS-Leibstandarte is a definitive history of one of Germany's top fighting units of World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
